Blueshirt Banter's New York Rangers Highlight Of The Week

by Joe Fortunato on Oct 16, 2011 3:00 PM EDT in New York Rangers Highlights

Once again, very small sample size this week since the New York Rangers only played in one game. And even though the Rangers lost to the New York Islanders, there were still a few highlights to chose from. Once again, I don't think too many of you will be upset with the choice.

The pass from Brad Richards to Marian Gaborik looks like a simple one, but there are more than a few ways to miss that outlet. Richards hit Gaborik's take in stride, and allowed Gaborik to break in alone to tie the game at one. This is one of the plays we're hoping to see as the year goes on and two continue to get used to playing with each other.

Richards has a goal and two assists in three games thus far this year, and this is the second week in a row he's been a main contributor in a Blueshirt Banter New York Rangers Highlight Of The Week. Below the jump is past winners.

Week 1: Brad Richards goes top shelf against the Anaheim Ducks to give the Rangers a late equalizer in the third period.

Not to be overlooked on that play

But Stepan made a nice play to get the puck to Richards who then broke Gaby out on the break away

agreed

Very smart play by step, he saw gabby streaking, knew Richards was trailing, made the right play and made it look easy.. step needs to be playing with better competition and linemates. It was evident last night. Don’t forget the spin-o-rama pass to gaborik that sprung him through the neutral zone.

Gabby didn’t look like he sucked on breakaways there. Rather see him in the shootout than EC.

Absolute Worst Ranger Fan!!!!!!....yet incredibly realistic and usually correct.

Gaborik’s always been money on breakaways, but is quite average in the shootout. There’s a reason Torts went with Jokinen a couple seasons ago, and we saw how that turned out :/
